(WASHINGTON) —Immigrant rights, civil rights and faith leaders, and families and children will hold a breakfast dialogue followed by a march, rally, press conference, and vigil in front of the Supreme Court on Friday, Jan. 15th, in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Friday is also the day the Supreme Court is expected to consider whether it will take up the case regarding President Obama’s executive order to expand DACA and implement DAPA.

The breakfast, march, rally, and vigil concludes a national week of action, aimed at bringing together immigrant families, organizations, allies and supporters across the country to show the national significance of this case and urging the Supreme Court to take up the case and give relief to millions of immigrant families.

Friday’s rally and vigil in front of the Supreme Court also serves as a reminder to all lawmakers to see that anti-immigrant policies have real effects on millions of families who have sacrificed so much to make better lives for themselves in their beloved adopted country of America.
